Mercury rising as Verona awaits super finalists

"We start from 0-0. The result of the first leg doesn't give us much of an advantage, and in any case it's better not to make calculations against a strong team like VakifBank. After a complicated start of the match in Istanbul, we definitely understood that we can play on par with them. But at the e-work Arena we'll have to do even better. I'm sure that VakifBank will arrive in Italy ready to attack from the first minute to reverse the situation. But we'll give our best to achieve the goal."

Rossella Olivotto
middle blocker of Unet e-work Busto Arsizio

"We are very excited for the match we have to play. The Super Final is exactly where we want to be. We want to play a real match, we want to play a great match against a great team, and we want to deserve to be in Verona. So we are very excited for this challenge. We believe in ourselves; we believe in our power. We want to go to the Super Final and our focus is to be the best VakifBank that we can be in Busto Arsizio.”

Giovanni Guidetti
head coach of VakifBank Istanbul

“We focused on the mistakes we made in the match we played in Istanbul and worked hard to correct them. We must return from Italy with a victory towards the Champions League trophy, which has been our goal since the beginning of the season. We are aware that we are going to a match at a very high combat level. Right now, our only goal is to return from Busto Arsizio with a victory and play the final on May 1.”
